$M,-i 18,237 Deficit Shown
in Operating Wires
Washington, Nov. 13.— War -time
operation of the telephone and
telegraph systems of the country
cost the Federal Government $11,-
418,237, according to a report of
Postmaster General Burleson
transmitted to Congress today by
President Wilson. This sum rep-
resents the difference between the
net earnings of tin; companies
taken over and the compensation
guaranteed by the Government.
No figures as to the operation of
the cable systems which were un-
der Federal control for six
months were given, Mr. Burleson
explaining that the reports from
the companies had not yet been
received. Any profits from the
operation of these companies
would reduce the total Govern-
ment deficit, Mr. Burleson said.
Total net earnings of the tele-
phone and telegraph lines during
Federal control were reported at
$70,387,532, while the compensa-
tion assured was $83,055,769. The
total deficit included an estimated
$3,000,000 for settlement of future
i laims.

Our weekly meeting October 12
was attended by a goodly number,
the president presiding. Mrs.
Haynie read the devotionals which
consisted of scripture lesson and
fervent prayer; the roll was call-
ed, etc. We then took up our
work, now fast coming to a close.
November 2Gth our last sewing
day before the bazaar December
4-5-6. As many as possibly can
come out and help finish up Nov-
ember 26. The people of Canadian
need no explanation as to the
bazaar, this our 13th one held.
From the 12 proceeding ones and
the generous contributions of
friends we were enabled to erect
the building that has proved its
worth many times since 1911. The
proceeds from those annual affairs
is our only income and there is the
usual repair, articles broken to be
replaced, coal to buy, electric
lights to be paid for every month
insurance to be kept up, etc., all
of which requires money and as
has been said the bazaar our only
income, except now and then a do-
nation from some kind friend
that helps out. So again we come
asking the same generous patron-
age as in the past. Aside from the
monetary part, the pleasure of all
our people coming together for
three days, and working for a com-
mon cause is a joy in itself. Will
again urge every woman in town
to make some article for the differ-
ent. booths, anything will be grate-
fully received. Solicit from youi
friends, they are often pleased to
donate. The past week articles
have come from our dear Mrs
White and her daughter, Mrs
Dave Pope from Los Angeles, Cal-
ifornia. The former wrote wish-
ing us success and says her health
is good, which her many friends
will be pleased to know. Mrs. D
Hammond and Mrs. George Ham-
mond of Sparrowbush, New York
also remembering our bazaar with
donations. Mrs. D. Hammond
was with us two years ago and en-
joyed the bazaar immensely and
writes she would enjoy it again.
The Glenn Wells Dramatic and
Musical Company will entertain us
the evening of November 29th at
the High School Auditorium, the
second number of the Lyceum
course. Those who failed to get
seasons tickets can still get them
for the coming four numbers by
communicating with Mrs. John H
Jones. Would like to see every
seat taken on the above date.

400,000 MOTOR CARS
IN FIVE YEARS
Dodge Brothers Again Achieve
Record for Rapid Develop-
ment of Great Industry
When Dodge Brothers motor ear
o.imber 400^00 rolled out from
he assembly line and swung
round the factory test track fot
linal inspection before delivery, it
marked a manufacturing achieve-
ment of exceptional importance in
he history of the motor car indus-
try.
The achievement is unique be-
cause 400,000 motor cars were pro-
duced and marketed during the
first five years of operation, which
is a record in the automobile in-
dustry.
Less than five years ago, on
December 4, 1914, to be exact, the
first motor car bearing the Dodge
Brothers name and plate was
shipped to a bona fide purchaser.
It was the first material evidence
of Dodge Brothers' determination
to devote their wide manufactur-
ing experience to the production
of complete motor cars. Since that
day the shipments ' have grown
in volume until, a few days ago.
the-400,000 mark was reached.
In 1914 Dodge Brothers works
covered approximately 20 acres of
floor space, and even then was con-
sidered one of the large manufac-
turing plants of America. But
unit after unit has been added
with unfailing regularity until the
criginal twenty acres have grown
to ninety, and the number of em-
ployees to more than 18,000.
The first hundred thousand car
was completed October 31, 1916.
the second on October 31, 1917:
and the third on December 13,
1918.
Car number 400,000, which is a
four-door sedan, was allotted tc

Getting Into the Campaign in
a Way That Brings Success
Dallas, Texas, Nov. 12.—Con-
crete examples of how individual
churches in the Southern Baptist
$75,000,000 campaign can do big
things in the way of subscribing
their quotas by practicing self de-
nials is beginning to be brot to
the attention of Baptists all over
Texas. Dr. P. S. Groner, state
campaign director, feels that
visualizations of this character
cannot help but bring results.
Dr. E. (I. Bowers, pastor of the
Columbus Street Church, Waco
in addressing a workers' meeting
of McLellan County a few days
ago, demonstrated how simple it
would be to raise a $110,000
quota. "If there are 250 men in
the church," said he, "and they
each spend twenty-five cents a day
for cigars, the total would be up-
wards of $22,000 a year, or $110,-
000 for the five-year period cover-
ed by the $75,000,000 campaign.
But, I hear you say, they do not all
smoke. Then they can give that
much all the more easily. Suppose
each of the 1,000 members spends
five cents a day for soft drinks
ice cream, chewing gum, picture
shows or something else they
might easily forego, the result!
would lie $21,000 a year or $105,-
000 for five years. In the light of
these facts why should we talk of
burdens and sacrifices and stag-
gering quotas?"
Reports show that the Baptist
women of the state, in their ef-
forts to raise $3,200,000 of Texas'
$16,000,000 quota, are willing tc
work on farm and ranch for its
success. The Woman's Missionary
Union of the Turner Street Bap-
tist Church, Waco, in redeeming a
pledge to the Central Texas Sani-
tarium and help out the $75,000,-
000, sent sixteen of its members tc
the cotton fields recently, and they
earned the necessary money. The
fine spirit and work of the women
so pleased the farmer that he made
a handsome donation to the fund.
Campaign Director Groner an-
nounces a number of big gifts tc
the campaign the past few days.
Bennett B. and Willis W. McGut-
cheon, cattlemen and ranchers of
the Port Davis country, gave
$25,000. The Fort Davis Baptist
Church, with a membership of
thirty, has guaranteed to raise
$30,000, or three times its quota
Rev. C. H. Ray and wife of Wea-
therford have pledged $10,000. Mr.
Ray is pastor of the North Wea-
therford Baptist Church.
Rev. E. P. West of Houston.
Publicity Director for district 12
wires State Campaign Director
Croner that a member of the Bap-
tist Temple church, Houston
pledged $10,000 to the success of
the campaign. This sum, he stat-
ed. represents more than the
donor's materia] assets exclusive
of his homestead.
Scores of large individual gifts-'
ii: Texas will be announced be-
fore Victory Week, November 30-
Deeember 7, according to informa-
tion coming to state headquarters.
Every section of the state is being
stirred by the campaign, reports
show.
What is claimed to be the largest
hog in the world was sold at Han-
nibal, Missouri, recently at public
auction for $11,000, which is also
claimed to be the highest price
ever paid for a Poland-China
porker in that state. The hog is 44
inches tall and 84-inches in length
and weighs 1,190 pounds.
